    If you eat right and exercise you should be able to do it, or at least get really close. Either way you made a choice that worked for you and you should be proud of yourself for making a choice to lose weight.

    On the flip side, I have two friends that have had this surgery, one about 10 years ago and one about 4 years ago and both have stated that if they had the choice to do it again they wouldn't. Mostly I think it is because of the stomach issues and extra skin from such rapid weight loss. Just make sure you take care of yourself and talk to your doctor as soon as any issues arise. Oh, and side note, one of them is slowly but surely gaining his weight back so you still need to make sure you are doing what you need to do to maintain your weight once you get there.

    :flowerforyou: You have 46 lbs to lose in 103 days (that's an aug 1 deadline, I don't know your actual goal date) so you better get away from the puter and get moving.....good luck! :flowerforyou:
